Short fleet bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Grumpy old man** · 05-18-2016, 12:31 PM

I just noticed on Amazon that Auto metal direct is selling Tri plus short fleet bedsides for $349.00 each side , looks like a pretty good price ?

**jmader** · 05-18-2016, 03:59 PM

Sounds like a good deal to me. Do you have a link? All I could find on Amazon is 67 style for $429 and the 68-72 for $549

Item # 40733937

**special-K** · 05-19-2016, 07:24 AM

Couldn't imagine them any cheaper.

**jmader** · 05-19-2016, 09:36 AM

Looks like a good deal to me. I ordered a pair this morning. $802 shipped to my door. Thanks for the link!

**GR8-68** · 05-19-2016, 10:10 AM

No where on any site have I seen a fleet side for 349, the only sides on amazon that cheap was for a step bed at 329

**GR8-68** · 05-19-2016, 10:22 AM

I found them on carid, never have I seen any that cheap.. mine are on order

This is all I could find on their site....

It won't post the direct link so you will have to click on "Product Options" and go through the click downs....

Wow that's a good deal.

**jmader** · 05-19-2016, 12:15 PM

You have to click on product options to customize what style you want. I just checked again and the price is still showing me $349

**LockDoc** · 05-19-2016, 12:25 PM

This is what it shows me.

I don't really need a set but at that price I had to get some. Just ordered mine as well.

**Grumpy old man** · 05-19-2016, 12:27 PM

I found it by searching 67-72 c10 lowering kit and the ad showed up on the bottom of the page . Go to CARiD.com and search 40733937 and type in the product options .

stomper · 05-19-2016, 03:14 PM

I find the '67 SWB fleetsides are $354 but the 69-72 ones are $430.

I hadn't noticed Chevrolet built any trucks after the perfect style of the '67 !

**Grumpy old man** · 06-12-2016, 08:21 AM

It just drives me crazy (crazier ?) When you order and pay for parts they show in stock and then are back ordered for weeks , New estimated shipping date 6/27

Mieser3 · 06-15-2016, 04:01 PM

Received an email today and it said mine are on backorder until 7/20/2016.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-19-2016, 03:54 PM

Wow.... it was a little over $700 (I would actually need the 67's) and when I did a mock check out it said free shipping???

Damn this is tempting... but I'm repairing a set of originals.

See if Summitt will price match with free shipping.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-19-2016, 04:30 PM

I've got the hard part on the DS done already, going to keep plugging along with these:

**70STOVEBOLT** · 05-19-2016, 04:43 PM

All I see listed are the 67 type with no side marker provisions for the $349.36 price. The ones shown with the side marker provisions are $430.86 each.

boraxman · 05-19-2016, 05:16 PM

Would love to get a pair w/side marker cut outs @ 350ea....

67ChevyRedneck · 05-19-2016, 05:19 PM

Since the 67's only cover one year (unless you don't want markers) it's probably a much smaller market. Someone made a big run of the 67 bedsides and now there's a large supply, so the price dropped to move some inventory (all just my guess on the pricing.)

Jegs did something similar with crate engines a couple years ago. They needed to move a lot of inventory so they dropped the price to around $1,200 shipped. They sold something like 300 motors in 2 or 3 days.

**Grumpy old man** · 06-06-2016, 03:50 PM

Anyone that ordered these did you get them yet ? I just checked on my order and the drivers side is ready to ship but the passengers are still back ordered and since shipping was only $99.00 they won't split the delivery .

Ah the joys of owning one year optioned trucks !

**jmader** · 06-07-2016, 08:05 AM

Have not received mine yet either
